Question

Which mode of oxygen delivery would most likely reverse the manifestations? A male client abruptly sits up in bed, reports having difficulty breathing and has an arterial oxygen saturation of 88%.A. Simple maskB. Non-rebreather maskC. Face tentD. Nasal cannula

Answer 1

Answer:

A non-rebreather mask

Explanation:

A non-rebreathing mask have an oxygen reservoir bag which can be used to deliver oxygen at high concentrations to a patient who is breathing spontaneously. It has a one-way valve that diverts the oxygen flow into the reservoir bag during expiration it also prevents exhaled gases from entering the reservoir bag.The use of the oxygen reservoir bag helps to increase the inspired oxygen concentration by preventing oxygen loss during inspiration.

A non-rebreather supplies close to 100% supplementary oxygen compared to the 21% in air and partial non-rebreather have no reservoir bag, allowing supplementary oxygen to blend with atmospheric oxygen causing delivery oxygen at a concentration of 45%.
